Hi I have purchased a Samsung S5 from Amazon. It has come from Hong Kong and was packaged as If it was legit.
My query though, is the fact that when I go into settings, About device...If I scroll down, just under build number it says United Arab Emirates Tra ID: followed by a load of numbers and then underneath it TRA ID it says TA: then a load of numbers .
What I would like to ask is, will I have any problems in the UK with this phone because the build number says United Arab Emirates.
Many thanks for any replies
A screen shot of the "about device" screen would of been nice.
will try and sort one out for you.
I have found out that the device is rooted and not sure whether to keep it or not as I like using sky go for the football but the app will not work with a rooted device.
Does this sound dodgy that the phone although was shrink wrapped and looks brand new was already rooted ?
Hopefully this has worked

need to regiter at www.myxda.com and download the software upgrade. can someon ehelp as my device's IMEI is considered invalid for some reason
Thanks
O2 Technical Support, Asia Pacific Region have been no help
I have a O2 XDA which I am using in Melbourne, Australia but had purchased from Uk and had it unlatched before coming to Australia
I have been trying in vain to register the unit at www.myxda.com and it considers the IMEI number as invalid.
Can you please give me an IMEI number thats good for registering cause all I want is to be able to download the software upgrade
Hi,
I am suffering the same problem as you too. I just purchased my Brand-New O2 XDA2 Asia. But the IMEI printed on the back of the device (uncovered after by removing the battery pack) is NO Good for registering. By pressing "*#06#" directly on the phone dialer, the displayed IMEI is STILL NO GOOD for registering into "www.myxda.com". The displayed IMEI is 17 digits. I googled it on the web about IMEI and the results came back it as should be an Uniquely defined 15 digits. After I tried with the whole 17 digits or just the 1st 15 digits for their own web registering, ALL FAILED. Many tries from asking help from that Officially Authorized(they claimed that authorized by O2-Singapore) Retailer where I had purchased my XDA2 from. No good answer back after all. They even told me that they had never given it a try to register into "www.myxda.com" at all, because they didn't have an XDA2 device to do that. Wow, what a BIG supprised me! They sold it many but they just didn't have a device for registering test.
What a DAM* SH*T service they are!!!

Hi Guys,
This is a story we commonly hear over at the MTekk forums. It seems that the most common solution is to e-mail them with your problem, purchase details and IMEI on...
helpdesk-asia<at>O2.com or
contactusasia<at>o2.com or
myxda_asia<at>o2.com
...and they will add your IMEI to the database, which seems to be rather incomplete. Don't expect immediate turn-around on your request either, they can be a little slow.

As it's a UK XDA Can you not just use the upgrade available for the UK version at www.my-xda.com ?
I am new to the whole Smartphone game, and I recently purchased the HTC S710/Vox. I am in the United States and AT&T cannot get the settings correct for the phone so that I am able to use the internet. Can someone on here please help me so that I can get this set up. I am in the United States/East if that helps with different settings.

Hey, im using cyanogen mod (info at the bottom)
I've been travelling lately, and used my G1 in spain, france, poland, germany, italy with no problems.
The moment i crossed la-manche channel everything went offline.
Sometimes i get registered on the network (via roaming) but im unable to place calls or send text messages.
I bought the phone on ebay back when i was in Poland. i think guy was selling it because it was locked in UK... it wasnt a problem untill now, how do i unlock it ?
And what kind of lock is this ? sim lock ? i tried local pre-paid, or subscription cards and they dont work aswell :<
the fact that it was orking with my polish sim card from play, orange and era (i used different providers over time) with no problems makes me all confused.
maybe its something else, like a radio problem ? i think i've uploaded the latest one...
Im not a holder of original owners information, i dont even have acontact with the guy so dont tell me to call t-mobile, cause that wont work propably.. and i cannot placea call anyways :[
Phone info:
T-Mobile G1_1.22.12.29
Kernel version:
2.6.29.6 - cyanogenmod shade toxygene
Mod version: CyanogenMod - 4.2.15.1
Build number : DRC83
Sounds like its been reported stolen. This phone will never work in the UK again.
go to www.checkmend.co.uk, register an account & run a check on your phone (will cost about £2) this will tell you if the phone has ever been reported Lost or Stolen & if it is currently blocked in the UK.
Or if you like you can drop me the IMEI number & i can check for you with the work account & let you know what it says
Hi, I remember when I had Galaxy S2, there was a mod or something, that let me know what country my telephone was connected to.
Issue: Live in Sweden, work in Denmark, and the net is so tightly bound that I can't tell if i'm connected to Swedish or Danish network.
So, when you pull down the status...thingie, I used to see "3 Sweden" or "3 Denmark", depending on country I was connected to, so, Please help me with this.
Here in Norway they have mobile subscripsions that has the same price no matter where you are in Norden (Sverige, Danmark, Norge, Island og Finland). Maybe that can help if there is an issue for you that the price gets higher when you cross the Øresund? NetCom is a Norwegian company, but owned by Swedish Telia.
Check here: https://netcom.no/
That is not the issue, the issue is the net quality
Ok, so, I'we googled high and low, all I found is a app that let you change _YOUR_ carrier ID (see attached pic), but I want the top line, that in the pic shows as "3", to rather show carrier and country, like "3 DK".
There was eighter a modem or mod for the Galaxy S2 that showed this info, and I thought it was Aswhopping nice to have.
But i'm not sure if it was with Incognition mod or if it was a fluke accsident when I tried to install a Nightly CM that failed....
But, I want that info on the Note, so....what to do?
Is there no one that has any idea on this issue?
Hey guys, I know this has been posted before, but I need to know specifically where my phone is from..I have the SM-G900M. I think this model is very rare. I hardly see any posts regarding it. I live in the USA on TMobile. When I do a search, I am finding different countries...Brazil, Argentina, Dominican Republic, Chile, Panama. Colombia, Mexico and Peru. Is there anything in "About phone" that can allow me to pinpoint which country?
I am having issues with the power button not always waking up my device, so I wanted to know if a software update will fix it. My device is telling me that the latest software is G900MUBU1ANCE; however, doing a search online, I am finding another update, G900MUBU1ANE2. I need to know which is the most up to date. Any feedback on this would be great! :good:
I already answered your question in your other thread.
